Coastguards in Falmouth have been co-ordinating the rescue of an injured woman on a cruise ship off Cornwall.

Concerns were raised after the 58-year-old suffered spinal injuries and started experiencing numbness in her legs.

A rescue helicopter from RNAS Culdrose was sent to the ship, which was on its way to La Havre, France, and was 15 miles (24km) off Lands End.

The woman was airlifted to the Royal Cornwall Hospital.

The only ship in the vicinity and on the above itinerary according to cruisecal is the Dream, so it is pretty safe to assume that this ship is the one involved in this medevac yesterday.
